Kilburn: How a derelict estate became a dumping ground

The last residents of the South Kilburn Estate moved out in July 2021 - and since then the areas around Exeter and Hereford houses have been filled with rubbish on an 'industrial scale'.

One neighbour, 75-year-old June Turner, branded the situation in north-west London as "scandalous". She said: "It's become a great area for the drug-dealers, fly-tippers, the squatters. This is unacceptable."
